  1. Love John- thanks for s great show. Your points and analyses are always great.

    FYI- a fig leaf is the size of your hand, stretched out; a laurel leaf is the size of your thumb, stretched out.
    In my view, the appropriate leaf is one of those dry, waxy, crinkly, California Canyon Oak leaves that are the size of your pinky, stretched out. ?

  2. I think the fervor involved in Alex Jones’s supporters is not explainable via ‘media support.’ It’s more like a corrupt church, where religion rules and explains everything. See Jim and Tamy Bakker, and the minister who had his supporters buy him a jet-(forget his name).

  3. I know some people that still play Pokemon Go on and off. I feel like it’s settled into the cultural landscape like other things that used to be new and exciting and are now just there.

  4. How did you guys miss the loudest pro-slavery dog whistle ever tweeted by a sitting Senator.

    From @SenOrrinHatch

    Dearest Elaine,

    Please forgive my extended absence. I have been anxiously engaged in efforts to take ownership of the progressive factions, who have come to battle ill-prepared and armed with predictable stratagem.

    We will be victorious.

    AND IT HAS NOT BEEN DELETED!

  5. Did TYT hire this Russian spy, Jules? I like him well enough (I think he’d look nicer without the beard – he gives me Commander Waterford flashbacks with it). Brooke is always a great addition to any panel and I love that TYT hired her because she’s great in nearly every way! =)

    On the whole “Russher thing”, they do get away with WAY too much! Putin meddled in our election in 2016 to get Trump in office because he was scared sh*tless of Hillary Clinton. Why? Because Hillary was Secretary of State under Obama when he gave them the “Russian Reset”, basically a giant clean slate and second chance to be a good ally, and Putin blew it. Hillary knew that, and Putin knew she knew that, and he knew he’d get no more second chances out of her. Contrast that to Donald Trump who essentially lets Russia anally rape us on live TV for the last 2 years. Say what you will about Hillary, but she’d have kept us safe, and imposed consequences on Russia (and without banning all Muslims from the country, destroying the EPA, trying to get rid of Obamacare, etc.).

    As to Pokemon Go, I think people are so high in the tenderloin that they can see the Pokemon WITHOUT a phone at all! Gotta catch ’em all folks! I want a JIGGLYPUFF!!! =) As to the Thai Cave that flooded, those 12 kids should count themselves lucky that they aren’t trapped in the cave with the wrestling coach from Ohio State…

    Psst, John! Cenk has a cult of personality, too! He tells us not to trust the MSM that only he and TYT will tell us the truth ALL THE TIME. What a coinky-dink! Cenk doesn’t sell us penis pills but he does sell us ShopTYT.com swag, memberships, super-chat contributions, YouTubeTV, Aspiration.com bank accounts, NordVPN.com, etc etc. I’m just sayin’.

  6. My favorite segment was the one on the nerve agent in the UK. I really like how it starts off by alleging Russia did it and Jules says “We know Russia did it” and then goes on to say how “terrified” he is of Russia. Textbook Russophobia! Good job, guys! Keep it up. You use to do it for an hour and now it’s only a segment or two. Maybe ramp it up in the future?

  7. If McDonald’s is cold it’s poison! That’s attempted murder, or certainly attempted manslaughter.

  8. 26:45 John just completely shut down Brooke’s “fabulous” point. Now I don’t like him anymore. Replace him with Helen Hong! …just kidding.

  9. There was just too much cross talking – for my taste!
    I could say more but that might be impolite.
    Does anyone agree?

  10. They kept say suitable parents for the kids. Meaning if they are too poor. They will say its better they dont go with the parents. No one caught that?

    1. darcborne, you did. I did. My reaction, sitting at home, was rather diluted because the clip opened with the director lying. One lie after another. Not only is he incompetent at his job, but he’s too lazy to create a really, really good lie to cover his ass. If this country get’s destroyed, I’d rather it be by an evil genius, then Trump’s clown car filled with Bozos.

      Perhaps, it is all a test. After they’re done, Trump and Kobach can Tweet their plan to institute voting purity, including kiddy koncentration kamps to ensure compliance.

      1. Some of those kids turned up at an adoption center with financial ties to Betsy DeVos. Why give them back when you can sell them?
